In Coastal Carolina’s first season in the Sun Belt Conference, its football opponents aren’t expecting much from the Chanticleers.

Coastal, which is moving up this year to the Football Bowl Subdivision level from the Football Championship Subdivision, has been predictably picked to finish last in the conference in a poll of the Sun Belt’s 12 head football coaches.

“We knew, obviously being a new member and not a lot of people knowing about us and going off our FCS record, that we were going to be picked there,” said CCU offensive coordinator and associate head coach Jamey Chadwell on Monday during the Sun Belt Conference Football Media Days at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
